In three short weeks we’ll all be leaving our current flat behind, and moving into a three bedroom flat instead. One of the guys has decided to head of to Oz for a year, which leaves the remaining three of us to find somewhere new. This is going to be the third move this year for me. It’s not something I like doing, but this time I’m really excited about it.

I may have found the perfect new flat for us to move into, and my excitement was justified when the guys saw it and absolutely loved it when they saw it. We do have one sticking point to getting it though. I saw the place on my own on Thursday, then the other guys came along to a viewing I’d set up on Friday evening. Unfortunately there were a couple of other groups there viewing it at the same time, and at least one of them seemed keen on the place.

So tomorrow morning I’m going to be calling the letting agent just before they open, leaving a voicemail to say we’re really interested in the flat, and that one of the other guys is going to call when they open to discuss a holding fee.

The new place, if we get it, is such a huge improvement over the flat we currently live in. The bedrooms are large, the living room is a decent size, it has one of the biggest kitchens I’ve ever seen, and it unbelievably has two bathrooms. No more queueing up to have a shower in the morning.

So hopefully as of tomorrow morning I’ll have a new place to live, and I can forget about the stress of flat hunting. Then in three weeks, we get to move into a place where we are all much more comfortable. I can hardly wait.
